Army infantry officers full length leather coat

[comleyn]

Hi
Would a WW2 German Army leather coat have any markings i.e numbers stamped on the inside liner? I am just trying to establish if this is a period piece.

Hi, being private purchase items these are often devoid of markings, bar perhaps a tailors label.

That looks like a good wartime example; note the dagger hanger, buttons, slip on shoulder boards etc.

Cheers, Ade.

G'day

It looks to have press snap buttons? maybe have a look to see if there is a maker on them, at least you may find out that they could be a German brand, like Prym (I think I spelt it correctly)

Nice Jacket
Looks original to me.Is it full length or only half as it seems to be quite short like my U-boat coat?

Mine has Marine markings under the left hand flap but otherwise zilch.Also it has blanket type lining and seals inside sleeves.

Thanks kindly!
I thought about it later and was thinking it did indeed look like it was full length not half like mine
Nice pickup too
